“Tastefully produced…mad but marvelous…admirable… well-executed and atmospheric.”  Teenage Wildlife

FireAnt, with assistance from Blackrider Records, knows a good thing when it sees one and has therefore released its newest CD featuring  David Bowie as covered by the musicians of Athens, Georgia. Taking Bowie’s great tunes - what Dylan referred to as “Rock’N’Roll with lipstick” - and adding some Athens-style twists and turns, Bowie’s classic tunes are seasoned by some of Athens’ more wigged out Bowie interpreters of the electronic, rock and folk persuasions. Well-known and lesser-known gems are played by Athens artists such as Born to Worry, The Quiet Men, Mime, Ceiling Fan and Robert Lurie.

Here’s what Teenage Wildlife said about individual cuts:

“A thing of electronic beauty.”

“Outdoing Bowie’s original.”

“What Bowie’s version would sound like if

Photek or Aphex Twin were allowed to

remix.”

“Like Neil Young fronting Joy Division

singing the song as a hymn while high.”

Starman - Slackdaddy
